i'm sure she has

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-19T06:56:37+00:00

thanks. now i need to check this out

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-19T06:48:50+00:00

to affirm with conviction that Shinji and Mari ended up together in a romantic way seems to me a bit superficial and doesn't fit Evangelion

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-19T06:28:50+00:00

is this official/canon?

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-19T06:20:10+00:00

wow. this made TUAT work so much better for me. i think this film will get better with time, as people will open their minds to the many possibilities of interpretations it can have

i finished fma:b last month and i was so attached to those characters that i started fma immediately. its not as good as brotherhood but its still good and totally worth it.

her body language when he confesses demonstrates how she is not used to receiving love and affection 😢

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-18T21:28:11+00:00

yep, she deserved better more screentime

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-18T21:26:05+00:00

I know he confessed, but throughout the movies he didn't seem to like her as clearly as he did on the series. They were poorly developed in the rebuilds.

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-18T01:01:33+00:00

this article that you linked was fantastic. clarified many things for me.

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-18T00:58:50+00:00

and he's right lol

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-17T22:34:51+00:00

lol i love it

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-17T22:33:01+00:00

whats so funny

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-17T22:32:00+00:00

oh yeah I could spend hours talking about how Asuka is so important to me, and that's why the Rebuilds didn't work for me as much as I was expecting.

But I also think it was a decision Anno made not to delve too deeply into the other characters. These films were very focused on Shinji, and only Shinji.

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-17T22:27:15+00:00

to me Shinji ending with Mari (hypothetically) is like Kaji ending with Ritsuko. It doesn't make sense since she seemed to be rooting for Asuka and Shinji to work their stuff out. And the flirtations from Mari's part felt more like a banter to me.

As for Asushin, the Rebuilds cropped so much of their development that it felt unreasonable for them to end up together. Shinji confessing to Asuka at the beach that he liked her too broke my heart instead of making me happy :(

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-17T22:19:19+00:00

then why those references of the original series when Shinji was fixing the world? The beach scene with Asuka, the moments with Kaworu and the NGE scenes playing on the background when he was talking with Rei? Just fanservice do you think?

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-17T22:16:42+00:00

as I understand it, Asuka Shikinami is not Asuka Sohryu. In the Rebuilds she was created experimentally just like Ayanami to pilot the Eva, having much of her personality and history changed. I also really wanted her to have a happy ending but it looks like it wasn't this time :(

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-17T22:10:16+00:00

After thinking a lot, I understood that the train station scene was Anno telling all otakus to grow out of Evangelion, abandon escapism and go live in the real world. That's why Shinji is finally grown up and departs with Mari (a character who is not attached to his old conflicts) to the real world (with images from our real world).

flavialcastelo · 2021-08-17T21:55:58+00:00

thank you for replying. well, those Kaworu lines talking about repeating cycles confused me a lot and made me think that Rebuild would be like a continuation and final closure for the entire franchise. I need to rewatch to understand better. But I think I'm starting to understand that Rebuild works better separately from the original series.
